CRUDE-OIL BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 517,411, dated March 27, 1894.

Applicationled May29, 1891. Serial No.394,591. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MIKE LYNCH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sturgis, in the county of St. Joseph and State of Michigan, have invented new and useful Improvements in Crude-Oil Burners,of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in crude oil burners, and the improvement consists in the peculiar construction and arrangement of pipes and openings therein, in connection with defiectors; and the object of my invention is to inject into a furnace and disseminate therein crude oil or other liquid fuel, in a way to effect complete combustion with a minimum of noise Vand efduvia as hereinafter more fully described. A

In the drawingswhich accompanythis speciication Figure 1 is a perspective view of my burner. Fig. 2 is alongitudinal sectional view thereof.

My burner is primarily formed of two metal pipes.

A represents the exterior pipe and has at its rear end a screw thread fitting in a T coupler B, connecting it with a steam pipe C, and asteam tight packingbox D, both secured to the T coupler B by screw threads, as shown in Fig. 2. The other end of A is enlarged in aspherical form, which is placed inside the rebox when in operation, to eifect a drying of the steam contained therein, before issuing from the pipe, it being believed that dry steam is effective in lessening the noise in combustion of the oil. The pipe A extends beyond the enlargement just referred to, at its normal diameter a suitable length, and is finished in the inside, at the end, with an annular shoulder ca E represents theinner pipe which passes through the steam tight packing box D and the T coupler B into the pipe A, and extends its entire length, forming therewith a steam chamber 10, and has at its forward end a circular metal cap F Screwed thereon, which forms with the shoulder ct in the forward end of the pipe A, avalve seat for the outlet of the steam. A rectangular opening b is cut in the end of the cap, through which the oil emerges, and the cap is furnished on its periphery with rectangular flanges c as guides, preferably four in number, to slide against the inside of A, and keep the pipe E in a central position therein. The rear end of the pipe E is attached to the feed pipe G connected with a tank ofV oil or other suitable supply, and is moved horizontally inside of pipe A by means of a collar d revolving on a screw thread cut on the exterior of E, and receiving the jaw of a pawl e attached to the steam pipe l, and is actuated by the lever f Encircling the end of the pipe A, is the metal plate H, secured thereto and fitted with two langes g g, projectingin front and supporting the metal deflectors Il on hangers h h, which are pivoted on the lower flange g, and projected through the upper ange g and then bent outward, and connected by the arms i i and the pin 7' to a rod J which passes througha slot la in the plate H, and also through a standard L secured to the pipe A, and is screw threaded near the end, on which a wheel m a barrel n rigidly connected together, and interiorly screwthreaded and revolve, and open and close the deliectors to any desired position. Arectangular metal bar O is placed vertically across the inside of the end of the pipe A close to the inner edges of the deliectors I 1, and where it crossesthe opening b in the cap Ff it is formed to a wedge shape, and prevents the oil from being projected forward between the deflec` tors.

The operation of the machine may be described as follows: The oil is admitted and regulated by a stop-cock, or other suitable device, through the feedvpipe G into the interior pipe 131, and the steam may be let on at the same time and by the same method, from the steam pipe C into the outer pipe A from which it escapes into the furnace between the guides c on the cap F intermingling and carrying with it the oil emerging from the opening b in the cap F5 after leaving the pipes, the mingled jet of steam and oil strikes the deflectors, placed at any desired angle, and is immediately spread vout under and up the sides of the boiler in a IOO thin sheet of spray and is consumed et once Without smoke or effiuvin. The combination is perfect and the noise vastly reduced. The Volume of steam at the outlet is controlled by the valve formed of the cap F on the end of the pipe E and the annular shoulder a in the interior oi' the pipe A as hereinbefore shown.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. In e. crude oil burner the combination with the interior pipe E having the cap F screwed thereon fitted with guides c and an opening b cnt in the end of the same for the emission of oil; of Jthe exterior pipe A with the interior ring or annular shoulder d at the forward end and having MIKE LYNCH.
